Tonight

YOUTH

I don’t say much when it matters most

I keep my words somewhere close

But every time you turn away

I feel the weight of what I couldn’t say

I’m not good at asking you to stay

But I’m worse at watching you fade

 

So don’t let go not tonight

Even if it’s hard to decide

I don’t need answers right now

Just your breath still around

Don’t let go of what we feel

If this moment’s even real

If you hear my voice at all

Don’t let go

 

I’ve been standing on my pride

Calling distance being fine

But every step you take away

Pulls me closer all the same

I won’t beg I won’t pretend

But I won’t lie about the end

 

So don’t let go not tonight

Even if it’s hard to decide

I don’t need answers right now

Just your breath still around

Don’t let go of what we feel

If this moment’s even real

If you hear my voice at all

Don’t let go

 

If tomorrow breaks this calm

If we wake to something gone

Just know I was fully here

Every second every fear

 

So don’t let go stay this way

Even silence has a say

I don’t promise I won’t fall

But I won’t disappear at all

Don’t let go even slow

If you’re scared then let me know

If this is the last thing I say

Don’t let go
